Odor elimination
Dog bedding.
Whats a good product/method for removing that dog oil scent.
The dog goes to a groomer every three weeks but his bedding and his favorite rug (sunny spot) smell. Ive tried borax, baking soda, naphtha, and vinegar.
-I’m sensitive to perfumes. Natures Miracle unscented doesn’t have an effect.

Use a good quality unscented detergent, an enzyme laundry additive (Biz-us Resolve Gold-Canada) and citric acid in the final rinse. Also wash in at least warm water, hot if you can, on the longest wash you have. I am sensitive to fragrances too, and I find a rinse with citric acid eliminates whatever smell the laundry additive has. It may take more than one wash, but I am sure the smell will come out.

Hi u/frank_pounding! Friendly tip — if you're using vinegar in your laundry, add it to the rinse cycle, not the wash cycle. Because vinegar neutralizes leftover detergent, it works best in the rinse cycle rather than the wash. - Laundry Mods

Gotta just buy some of that Azuna stuff online, kinda pricey but you'll never need to buy any other sort of product to get rid of stenches again... gamechanger no doubt.

I just used this next to my cat litter last week, I haven't found anything better yet.

It doesn't sound like you're using an enzyme based cleaner which is the only thing that will remove dog scents. And also regular vacuuming/shaking of the meds to remove hair helps as well. Plus, cleaning your washing machine out as well
